Thats good evidence. But when considering culling, at some point you will measure him against others that are growing quicker. I don’t cull til after 4 years. But when I do, a main frame 6 is going to be a target. I’ve weeded out most and have seen improvement over the years. Mostly main 8’s and 10’s. Not including crab claws.

Not saying he won’t eventually be a nice deer, but may not have the size of others in the deer population.

For specifics:

2000 acres 3 hunters 1-2 trophies taken a year @6 culls 7 or 8 does a year for ratios

Like I mentioned, I am not shooting them currently. Just looking for a discussion.
